Gabriel's Pre-School Graduation

Gabriel graduated from Pre-School yesterday evening and is now moving on to Kindergarten. He has had a wonderful at Learning Adventures Pre-School. His teacher, Miss Amy, was absolutely wonderful and I owe her a huge debt of gratitude. She went above and beyond with her students and she taught them sooo many things. I love her so much and can't wait for Liam to go there in a couple of years!

For graduation, the morning and afternoon classes came together and presented a very fun program that showed off some of the songs they had learned throughout the year. The program began with the students saying The Pledge of Allegiance.

Then they continued by singing some songs. One song was the months of the year, which has little actions that look like you are doing the Macaraina :)



After the songs, each class performed a little skit. Gabriel was in the afternoon class and their skit was The Gingerbread Man. Gabriel was the sneaky fox who ate the gingerbread man.


The program ended with Gabriel getting his diploma. He also received an award for passing off all of his monthly challenges. Some of the challenges included knowing your phone number and all of the colors and shapes. Last month he had to be able to identify all the capital and lowercase letters and this month he had to be able to write his name.

Gabriel has had a great year and has learned so much. I am so extremely proud of him and can't wait to see what other potential we can unlock from him!!

Busy Week!

Our family has had a busy week already and it's only Wednesday!!

Owen has learned how to stand up in the middle of the room. He did it for the first time on Sunday, at our friend DeAnn's house. We were standing there talking and all of a sudden he stood up in the middle of her hallway!! It's amazing how new things like this still amaze me even after 4 kids.Today, Cameron lost another tooth. It has been loose for quite awhile and he has been wiggling it like crazy lately. A lot of kids in his class like to pull their teeth out at school, so Cameron was taking a go at it yesterday but was not successful. I guess that today he got it pulled about halfway out, then had his friend Caden finish the job.

This is the 4th tooth that he has lost. I'm just glad that they are starting to come out. He goes to see the orthodontist next month so hopefully we won't have to start pulling too many teeth since they are finally starting to fall out.

Growing Too Fast!

So Owen has decided that he loves to get around. He is crawling and pulling himself up. The other day, he even decided to let go and stand on his own. The funny thing is, he's only 7 months old! I was hoping that he would be one of my slower babies, but I guess he figured otherwise. None of the boys have been slow, but I was hoping for a little more baby time! It won't be long before he's walking :( He is just growing way too fast. I guess I'll just have to convince Sean that we need another one. Plus, I still want that girl that has been eluding us!

Here are some pictures of Owen helping me unload the dishwasher the other day.
